Need Help from theymos : Can't Access My acc/

[amit123]

I'm just wondering how it all happened, on the night of 20th june my acc/ was working without any problem and the next morning it says I entered a wrong password , today I sent a PM to myself to test whether I get a notification on my mialing acc/ or not but I didn't got any, so it is clear that my email is not in batabase anymore ..! how is it possible there are no signs that its been hacked because no one tried to login into my acc/ after 20th.
what I'm trying to say is if there is any such vulnerability that someone might exploit in future...

Theymos is active most of the times on this forum..! and I can understand he got a lot to do apart from reassigning my acc/ a mailing address. but take a look into it if you get some time , thanks

EDIT***
I just realized that the message I sent earlier to theymos was different to what i signed SORRY FOR THAT ..!
 now I sent theymos another PM with a signed message and this time i verified it to know if it is indeed correct . I hope I'll get it back now.

Account Summary of amitrwt says " Last Active:    June 22, 2014, 05:22:38 PM " I lost it on 20th , Looks like someone tried to sneak in on 22nd.

Usually how much time Theymos takes to resolve the account recovery PM. Anyone here recovered their accounts in past..? if yes how much time it takes, I sent a PM to theymos 3 days ago.?

Did you end up recovering your account OP? If you need help signing the message I can give you a hand if you please

No I haven't recovered my acc/ yet..! and I sent a PM to theymos on 24th if i'm not mistaken with time difference. How can you help, you had any similar experience in past..?

Sometimes it takes theymos a while to respond

Ok I can wait if that's what is required,  I hope eventually it all gets shorted out, before something bad happens ..!

If he doesn't answer after a couple days, send it again, it probably got buried/lost. I'll sometimes leave a pm for later then forget about it when something else comes up, or it gets buried in a flood of reported pms. A mention it's the 2nd/3rd/4th time you've sent may help, but don't be a douche about it.

A PM from your side to theymos might help.
I Just sent theymos one more PM on same Subject . I can understand how difficult it is to manage something like bitcointalk and handle all the queries ..!

I can see your main account is logged in just now. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=239496
Did you get it back, or is it the hacker?

I again request mods to pls take a look in this issue as I'm trying to recover my account from 12 days and sent 5 bitcoin signed Pm's to theymos to prove my authenticity ,  I don't know what else i have to do..!

What about sending the "recover account PM" to badbear as well?
It won't help you recover the account, but badbear should be able to confirm you are the original account owner and give the account a negative trust for "possibly hacked" to prevent scams.

I sent a PM to badbear few days ago... but If you say I'll do it again..! I don't know whether he was able to check my last PM or not I never got any acknowledgement.

I checked the messages you sent me, both of them fail to verify, including the one you sent me this morning. You broke it by adding extraneous spaces, <> symbols, and/or bold tags. I took the information provided and made the message myself properly, and it verifies fine, I sent you the correctly formatted message, though I don't know if theymos is going to bother reading your messages now.

If you format the message properly, you should be able to copy the entire message directly and verify it. I would recommend everyone test your own message before sending it. https://brainwallet.github.io/#verify If you copy your message there, and nothing happens when you hit verify, your message is not correct. I don't recommend you use their tool to sign though.

This is a properly formatted signed message, and can be copied directly to verification field and will pass, try it yourself.

Thanks Badbear that is all what I was asking for  Although I verified the message before sending it to theymos but I did it manually on blockchain by entering data in 3 fields [btc address, Message , Sign] , I didn't knew I have to verify the whole message at once , my bad . And yeah I can understand this issue has a low priority on theymos's list as he has to deal with lots of other much more complicated/important stuff..!
again Thanks.

I don't know whether it was a wise decision but I sent a PM to theymos using a new acc/ .

That'll certainly get his attention. Perhaps not in the way you want though.

Also, when sending PMs with a signed message put the message and the signature in separate code fields(e.g. [code ]some text[/code ] (just without spaces at the end of the word "code") ). Different browsers see the text differently otherwise (additional new lines, etc.). I experienced this myself once.
